PREFACE.

THE object of the present Catalogue is to give a list of
the Specimens received by the Museum or described by
Naturalists since the publication of the former Parts. The
letters a, b, c, &c., after the pees denote the specimens now
contained in the British Museum, followed by the habitat and
the mode in which each of them was obtamed; the absence
of these letters indicates the species which are desiderata

for the Entomological collection.

The veins of the hind wings of this species differ much in
structure from those of the typical Melitite. The first inferior vein
does not spring from the veinlet which terminates the discal areolet,
but is connected with the second vein at some distance from that
areolet.

Of the three individuals here described the Aru specimen
differs from the others in the markings of the fore wings. The first
streak is interrupted and abbreviated towards the base; tke hind
streak does not extend to the base and forms an angle at its end,
which dves not join the band; the latter is nearly elliptical and is
abbreviated at each end. In the Ceram specimen the band is con-
nected with the hind streak and extends to the costa, near which it
is interrupted. In the Gilolo specimen the first streak is accom-
panied near its end by a little hinder streak; the hind streak is
attenuated towards its end, and the band is abbreviated at each
end.

PREFACE.

Tue object of the present Catalogue is to give a list of
the Specimens received by the Museum or described by
Naturalists since the publication of the former Parts. The
letters a, b, c, &c., after the species, denote the specimens now
contained in the British Museum, followed by the habitat and

the mode in which each of them was obtained; the absence

of these letters indicates the species which are desiderata

for the Entomological collection.
